I worked on a brown euro 4 speed wagon a couple years back when I was at GreaseWorks It had some clutch issues, a broken rear window, and a leaking power steering pump. I wonder if its the same car that has migrated down south. If I recall correctly it had mismatched seats, I want to say the back seats where different than the front seat. One set was cloth the other vinyl. I'd be interested in hearing about it if it is the same car. There can't be that many brown euro wagons running around.

euro = no sls?

I wasn't aware that SLS delete was an option, euro or otherwrise. Is it really? Or is this an aftermarket retrofit rear suspension deal?

From what I've heard and read SLS was an option on the euro models.

That is funny. It was for sale here about a year ago, they must have moved down south, and taken it with them. It does have the highly sought after M-pump. I drooled over it when I saw it, but it definetly needed some work then, and the poop brown color didn't do much for me.I can't remember what all I did do it. I know I had to fix the throttle linkages, and gave them a quote for all the other stuff that needed to be fixed. I can't believe they never fixed the power steering leak. It was leaking pretty badly 2 years ago.
